New research analyzes stability properties of Mamba-like selective SSMs

Researchers have published a paper on the regularity and stability properties of Selective State-Space Models (SSMs), a type of model used in long-sequence modeling, with Mamba being a prominent example. The study applies control-theoretic tools like passivity, dissipativity, and Input-to-State Stability (ISS) to analyze these models, which are modulated by token-dependent gating signals. The paper presents findings on exponential forgetting, a canonical AUCloc quadratic storage for the frozen-selection subsystem, and conditions for global ISS. It also introduces a sampled block LMI for the Mamba selective-scan core, which acts as a differentiable training-time regularizer, significantly reducing LMI violations and improving model diagnostics under perturbations.

    Regularity and Stability Properties of Selective SSMs with Discontinuous Gating

    arXiv:2505.11602v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Selective State-Space Models (SSMs) such as Mamba have become central to long-sequence modeling. Still, their stability is poorly understood: their state-space coefficients are modulated online by a token-dependent gating …
